In the absence of a servicex.yaml file defining endpoints, I see the following error message:
ServiceXException: (ServiceXException(...), 'Unable to find name/type uproot in api_endpoints in servicex.yaml configuration file. Saw only names (default) and types (xaod)')
This sounds as if a servicex.yaml file was found, but that my desired endpoint was not included in there. Instead, it would be useful if the error message mentioned that no file was found.
